Bags For Festool CT33 and CT22?

[Derek Arita]

I have a CT22 and 33 and am looking for replacement filter bags. The Festool bags are great, but not cheap. Does anyone know if there are less expensive bags out there that I can use in these machines?

Derek,

I think trying to do a work around would probably represent a false economy. The Festool system is so well designed that circumventing any one part would dimininsh the efficiency of the system. Also, since Festool is not exactly Shop-Vac I don't believe any aftermarket folks would think it profitable to try to get into their shorts for a few bag sales.
